»» Medieval Festivals in Umbria: Calendimaggio Kicks Off in Assisi
If you happen to visit Umbria early May, it is not to be missed the Calendimaggio festival in Assisi. And also if you are visiting Tuscany or Rome it’s worth taking a day trip to Assisi in these days.
An authentic medieval atmosphere is recreated in Assisi during the Calendimaggio days.
This festival takes the form of a ritual song and balladry contest between the upper and lower districts of the city, with medieval costume parades, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays.
The 2007 edition takes place from April 27 through May 5 (with most of the performances concentrated on May 3, 4, 5). For the festival schedule visit the Calendimaggio official website
